receive the following error message:
Couldn't open file '<FILENAME#DB>' (in Microsoft Access version 1.x)
-or-
Couldn't lock table '<tablename.db>', currently in use by user
'<username>' on machine '<machinename>' (in Microsoft Access 2.0, 7.0

that ships with Microsoft Access supports databases located on read-only
drives.

This behavior is by design.
